Chapter 202: Poyang Lake
Similarly, the sword god Bai Qingchen was secretly summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang before leaving, and the conversation was originally extremely brief: "After Shen Chaixing completed the task, he killed him." "There is no need to explain anything else, as Zhu Yuanzhang's sharpest sword, Bai Qingchen has been doing it for decades. All he knows is killing, and asking too many questions will lead to death.
Bai Qingchen got up and retreated. What is different from the past is that Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately ask him to retreat this time, but chatted with him amiably, and chatted for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang and him recalled the eventful years in the past, those days of blood and fire, talked about how powerful the enemy they faced at that time, and talked about those dead comrades. When talking about the climax, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed from time to time, and when he talked about his most valued son Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang was also in tears. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also cared about the old injuries on Bai Qingchen's body, asked about Bai Qingchen's sons and daughters, and was also happy that Bai Qingchen was a grandfather, and specially mentioned the interesting story of bringing his grandson. Zhu Yuanzhang chatted happily and behaved very sincerely, as if the "eight brothers of Zhu Chong" in the past war years had returned.
Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sword from the wall and gave it to Bai Qingchen and said: "This Tai'a sword was obtained by Aiqing from Lan Yue, it is indeed a good sword!
Bai Qingchen hurriedly excused himself, Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Dignified Sword God, if you don't wear a good sword, you have no face!" Bai Qingchen's bones were several taels lighter at that time.
However, when Bai Qingchen thinks about it now, he feels a chill in his heart.
The Poyang Lake has left the Jingshi Wharf and sailed from the Yangtze River to the sea in the light southeast wind.
During the Hongwu period, there were many kinds of ships of the Ming Navy, mainly including blessing ships, eagle ships, sub-mother ships, fire dragon ships, chain ships, Cangshan ships, centipede ships, three-masted gunboats, etc., a total of more than 20 kinds. The Poyang Lake is a large fortune ship, with a huge size, a pointed bottom, a raised head and a cocked tail, suitable for sailing in the ocean. The surface of the ship is as high as a city, and there are guards on both sides, equipped with artillery, furlong machines, firearms, spray cans, rockets, fire bricks and other water combat weapons, which are powerful. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, firearms were already popular, and they were widely used in wars, and in water wars, they were mainly based on fire attacks. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen dared to let Princess Yilun out and fly across the sea, and they also had the bottom in their hearts, in addition to having super masters like Sword God and Shen Chasing Star to escort them on land, powerful and invincible firearms and super-large warships are also the biggest capital and hole cards that they dare to run rampant on the sea.
Shen Chaixing was familiar with the warships of the Dongting Gang, so he was no stranger to such ships, but he was still amazed by the huge size and powerful firepower of this Poyang Lake.
Not long after the warship left Beijing, Princess Zhu Yunzhen of Yilun invited Shen Chaixing, Bai Qingchen, Linglonger, and Song Ruyu to her cabin.
Because it had just passed the middle of winter, it was not yet spring, and it was windy on the water, so it was quite cold on board. Everyone entered the cabin of Princess Yilun, but there was a warm incense, it turned out that not only was there a stove in the room, but also precious spices were added to the furnace, which was thought to be a tribute from outside the territory.
Zhu Yunzhen was wearing an autumn-colored gold five-color embroidered dragon and silver fox short jacket, a short water-red pleat, a bow with a long spike of five-color silk silk around his waist, and deerskin boots, which looked elegant and rich but lively and lovely.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't wait for everyone to see the ceremony, and said with a smile: "This is going to find Xiandao, just as ordinary people go out to travel, so all palace or officialdom etiquette is avoided, and everyone gets along with family and friends, otherwise, before finishing things, how many people will be tired to death just by saluting?"
Zhu Yunzhen specially served tea to the sword god with his own hands, treating him with the courtesy of an elder, and acting like a young lady from an ordinary family. Although Bai Qingchen didn't dare to say that he was humble again and again, he was also very useful.
Zhu Yunzhen's eyes scanned everyone for a week, and when she saw Linglong'er sitting farthest, she hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hold Linglong'er's arm, led her to her seat, sat down together, and said with a smile: "Sister Linglong, although we met last time, because we were entangled in things with each other, this time we went to look for Xiandao, and our sisters can have a good gathering." Saying that, he pulled Linglong'er and was very affectionate.
For a while, the atmosphere of the whole cabin was warm, and everyone no longer felt restrained, and everyone chatted while drinking tea.
Zhu Yunzhen said: "This trip is a rare trip for me, and it is probably the only trip. As you know, born in the family of the emperor, although there is no shortage of wealth, but you can't help yourself. From a mission perspective, I'm a prop, a cover. Therefore, you can just discuss and decide on the mission, and you don't have to report everything to me, so as not to delay the fighter. I invite you to come, firstly, to express your intentions, and secondly, to ask, what are your plans?"
Her question is not easy for everyone to answer. Originally, this task was also a matter of finding a needle in a haystack, and the clue was only a sentence from Jiang Huan before he died, so they were all silent.
At this time, the big boat suddenly jolted violently, and Shen Chaixing didn't think about it, so he stepped forward to support Zhu Yunzhen. Seeing that there were no other emergencies except for the bumps, he was a little shy, walked out of the cabin, and said, "I'll go out and see, what's going on!"
Linglong'er smiled: "Big brother, you don't have to go out to see, let me tell you, there is nothing, it's just that the big ship has sailed to the sea." ”
Shen Chaixing sat back in disdain. Zhu Yunzhen relieved the siege and said: "Shen Daxia, do you have any plans for this operation?"
Shen Chaixing finally got rid of the embarrassment, his spirits perked up, and he put on a posture of a master's move, and said, "Gong ?????? Miss Zhu, first of all, I would like to remind you that I used the resounding name 'Sheng Yong' in this operation, not Shen Daxia. ”
Zhu Yunzhen didn't get angry when he saw him talking nonsense, but just gave him a blank look. Seeing that there was no complaint, Shen Chaixing suddenly came to his senses and continued: "I am reckless in my life, I can't do things, I can only fight, so I want to consider this matter from the perspective of a martial arts duel. ”
"For example, if a master fights against each other, the other party has no moves, but I don't care if he just punches and kicks, and after beating everything the master taught, it will be finished, which is not good, so it is impossible to make a detailed plan in advance. ”
"You are a standard strong word! You don't have any other clues from the other party, so you don't have a plan, I can understand, don't you have some arrangements and preparations on your own side?" Although Zhu Yunzhen asked with a smile, his teeth were sharp, and Shen Chaixing almost couldn't parry.
However, Shen Chaixing suddenly understood one thing at this moment, that is, anything that seems complicated, you just need to turn it into the problem you are best at, then it will be easy to solve. Now Shen Chaixing regards this mission and even the Q&A with Zhu Yunzhen as what he is best at-master duel, so he said unhurriedly: "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." If we don't know the other now, don't we know ourselves?"
Shen Chaixing stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and continued: "I propose that we should make a division of labor in advance according to our respective circumstances. Among us, in terms of martial arts, of course, the sword god Bai Lao is the first. Bai Lao's martial arts are obvious to all, not only are the highest martial arts among us, but looking around the world, there is no enemy so far. ”
Bai Qingchen listened, and snorted coldly: "That's not even a slap in the face by you, and the injury that has been recuperated for several months. ”
Shen Chaixing was suddenly a little embarrassed, and turned back to Bai Qingchen and saluted: "That time it wasn't caused by the kid taking advantage of your unpreparedness and sneaking attack after a fierce battle, here I will apologize to Bai Lao first!"
Zhu Yunzhen saw that Shen Chasing Xing could bend and stretch, and secretly appreciated it in his heart. Seeing this, Bai Qingchen couldn't say anything, just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Shen Chaixing saw that Bai Qingchen was no longer embarrassed, and continued: "In addition, the most noble person we have here is, of course, this Zhu ????? Miss, the reason is clear to everyone, so I won't talk about it anymore. Now, we're looking for Immortal Island and want to rob other people's things??????"
Shen Chaixing's eyes frowned when he saw Zhu Yunzhen hearing this, pretending not to see it, and continued: "?????? We can't just think about other people's good things, and when we come back, our most valuable ones are also robbed away, then it's not interesting, and no matter how many good things we rob, we can't make up for our own losses. What's more, if you go out and don't grab someone else's things, but you come back and find that your most valuable things have been stolen, what is this called?"
"It's called stealing chickens and rice!" Linglong assisted.
Shen Chaixing said happily: "That's right, how can we do such a loss? Therefore, I propose that the White Sword God, who has the highest martial arts, personally protect the most noble Miss Zhu! I will take someone to do the rest of the trivial matters of the World Exploration Society, what do you think?"
When Zhu Yunzhen heard Shen Chaixing's words, he secretly thought in his heart that this Shen Chaixing was really a good person! He and Bai Qingchen were enemies, but they barely got together for the sake of the task, so they must be worried that Bai Qingchen would stab him at a critical moment, so he used this funny way and seemingly vulgar language to make such an arrangement, which is reasonable and reasonable, and avoids infighting.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhen stood up and said, "Shen ?????? Although what Sheng Yong said was a bit vulgar, there was some truth, the martial arts and loyalty of the guards around me were all first-class, but compared to Bai Lao, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth, with Bai Lao by my side, what else did I have to worry about? I just don't know if Bai Lao is willing to succumb?"
Of course, Bai Qingchen couldn't go against Zhu Yunzhen's intentions, thinking that this kid Shen Chaixing was too cunning! Fortunately, the emperor also ordered him to do it afterwards, and now he did it, who would complete the big thing? Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Protect it?????? Miss Zhu is an old minister?????? The duty and honor of the old decay, the old decay will not disgrace the mission!"
Zhu Yunzhen saw that Shen Chaixing had solved his worries in a few words, and was secretly happy for him, and glanced at Shen Chaixing with his beautiful eyes and said, "After arranging us, how did you arrange your own?"
Shen Chaixing smiled: "I ?????" As soon as he said this, the Poyang Lake suddenly shook violently, and then there was a loud bang!
